I have a 75 bolt on neck custom sunburst. I put gibson 57 in the neck,and 498t in the bridge. It sounds fantastic. The DiMarzio PAF pro in the neck and a super distortion in the bridge is also just killer. It sits with my Gibsons with no inferiority complex. It's even maybe a little more special because there are not a lot of these and those that have them don't want to sell them.

How much did this sell for please? I have a 1988 in mint condition with original chainsaw case.

Already got one. It’s awesome. Nice to see your video. Cheers.

That sounds and looks Amazing! What are y’all running it through? And settings , guitar and amp?Cheers Mate

These are not from 1990. They were introduced in 09’ I believe and were limited to 120.

The audio sounds horrible. But make no mistake ovation legend acoustic guitars sound great!

I could be wrong, but I don’t think they use those tuners back in 1970s

Love the blazer model! I have six of them and they all play better than any strat I've played. Humbuker Pickups are super 70's . The 1980 blazer is different than 81 82 models.

Ditto on the coke bottle head stock

Jayhawks!

I wished I had seen this when first posted it . I would like to had a chance to own this one .

One of my favourite guitars of all time……play it as much or more than my 1966 Strat….

Mike is great!!! I had a very technical question, I gave him a call, and he answered it thoroughly! He absolutely knows his stuff!! Go to his website, give him a call, buy from him, you won’t regret it!! Thanks for the info. Sir!!!👍🏼👍🏼

I have a 1973 Glen Campbell balladeer. Since 1975. Grover tuners.

That’s the best sounding D 18 I’ve ever heard. Which brand of strings and what pic are you using? Thanks

I had a blue metal flake 59er as a kid in the 80's It definitely got played

Hey Mike! Epic video!! Is this guitar still up for sale now?

got the exact hump in the exact same place on my 1960 desert sand duosonic pickguard. the suckers have unbelievable tone and the tone knob, pickups are unreal on these. the duosonic neck pickup is amazing if you set it just right the guitar can even sound lie an acoustic. these are well worth the expense

I had one in white, i bought i in 1975 and sadly i sold it after 3-4 yers

Hi! Hope you can help me out with some info please! I inherited my dad's 1961 Harmony Rocket H-59 (3pick up) model. My mom gave it to him with a 1961 Gretsch Playboy Amp for Christmas in '61 so they've only been played by my dad or me recently! I've noticed the pots are scratchy and could use some De-Oxit, however I'm having a bear of a time figuring out how to get them up though the f hole and more importantly, GET THEM BACK IN their holes after they're cleaned! Any suggestions please, would be so much appreciated! Also, if you have a line in where to get a new pickgaurd for this guitar as the original is cracked and a clay fret marker has "vanished" at some point! I'd like to replace them both. Thanks so much for your help and these videos! I just found your channel today and yes I will hit the subscribe button!! 👍

It's the first relic bass with build on neck tuner. It always shows E, so we stay tuned all the time :)

Hi, are the back and side also solid?

Cool!

Very Nice Mike. I look forward to getting my Silvertone Tenor from Jeff. I hadn’t really thought about the various tunings, with being a Bass Player. I just figured E,A,D & G. I guess I need to pay attention to my Bandmates and their Violins & Mandolins and their tunings. Your Epi sounds real nice!

Hi. Simce you mentioned in the video not knowing why it's called the Bubinga model- The back and sides are made from Bubinga wood not Indian Rosewood. The headplate is Indian rosewood. Hence, the Bubinga model.

i had a les paul studio Tuxedo .very similar brings back great memories

my first really good bass - the guitar version was great too with incredible twang

I've got the electromatic version, would love to step up to this.

for sale still?

I got one , because it looked so cool, plays alright, great for punk rock power chords style or surf chords.

Love this - I have one (also an F80xxxx serial) that needs new pickups/wiring … reminder of how much I always loved this!

For a time The Shaggs did have a 4th sister Rachel who played bass on one track on the album (Sports Car) and did a couple of gigs with the band.

Back in the early seventies I was in the musicshop Servaes in The Hague (Netherlands) I was planning to buy a second hand Gibson Les Paul custom but it was gone already. Out of frustrations I bought 5 Coral Fireflies as Nico Servaes was the importer in the Netherlands but they didn't sold that good. It was a steal as also these Coral Fireflies were great value for the bucks. Nice sound, especially the neck pick up. Danelectro, the company behind it, built their bodies with cheap materials, in fact a bit of a hollow body idea as well but that worked wonderfully well in combinations with these pick ups. I've putted them on some loose parts of a Fenix Strat. The sounds was good as well but not the way the old Danelectro's did sound. Magic sometimes pops up unexpected!

I think this is the guitar i have

A cool sounding guitar !!!!

So how come the truss rod cover has 3 screws in it?? mine from 1974 has only 2.

Hey there. I have the same guitar in a smoke color with an additional switch that is a coil splitter. It also is a 1978. I know this by the faded date on the battery cloth. It also has a 70's whammy bar spring set up which looks like it is factory which I have never seen on any Vulcans. It does not have a sticker on the back of the headstock depicting it as a 930 or 950. I've seen identical electra's marked as X930's and X950's. Do you know what differentiates them? I know there is a lot of mis info on the internet as to the years as mine is marked 78' and the sights say these weren't made before 1970. Thanks for the video.

my dream guitar! i wish i was able to afford one😓

Wow, I haver the same guitar. I received it as a Christmas gift around 1967. It's still original in great shape and plays great!

Absolutely love mine..gorgeous sounding guitar

Thank you for this honest review and sound test. Those guitars were well crafted and still endure today. '' copy'' surpasses original...

Great Demo , fantastic looking and sounding guitar .

That sounds like an electric guitar should.... :)))

i just bought a 754 jumbo ibanez for £20! at a yard sale .. was it good ????

Beautiful instrument. I've just today but one identical but from 1986. Not in as good condition as the one here (mine has definitely been around the block a bit) but sounds every bit as lovely!

What does a guitar like that cost?

I recently sold my Antoria branded version of this built in the same ibanez factory. They had excellent necks on all that era guitars.

I've 2 of these from the 70's they are certainly stand out instruments and Les' first choice of all of his available options, his mantre to obtain the cleanest sound possible.

These were made by Hayashi Mokku, not Guyatone.
